    I'm so sad to write this negative review. After being a loyal customer and referring many people here for a better part of 20+ years, I might have to find a new place for my dry cleaning and alteration services. I paid $45 to have this dress hemmed and steamed. I asked them to dry clean it originally but the gentleman said no for some reason and said that he will just steam it. I picked my dress up today and although the hem is well done, the dress was so wrinkled. I feel ripped off and the language barrier did not help. I feel like he didn't care that I left disappointed and that made me very sad because I really liked their work.

    I think this place is good if you are looking for affordable tailoring. I like that the prices are reasonable and transparent -- the service prices are listed on the website (the decals on the window are outdated) and so you can hold them accountable to not inflate the price, unlike other tailors that may upcharge you for no reason. Taking off two stars because: 1. They told me my item would be ready on Thursday. I came on Friday and they hadn't even started my item yet. And then when I came to pick it up on the weekend, there was no discount or anything for the inconvenience. So if you need something by a specific date, you may want to be careful to give them extra time. 2. You could see little dots from the outside on my hemmed shorts, which I've never seen before. It was just for a Halloween costume though, so I didn't super mind.

    Straps were scrunched. I pointed it out and Ann told me, "your arms are going to be down, no one will notice"

    **THIS REVIEW IS FOR A WEDDING DRESS ALTERATION! Now that my wedding is over I can post photos and a review. I bought wedding dress and I asked around for an alterations place for a wedding dress. Several people had recommended Ann's, and I checked Yelp prior to bringing my dress in. It looks like she had experience fixing a dress so I brought it in. Ann is a nice lady. All my dress needed was to adjust the length, and straps of the dress. During the alterations, it definitely seemed like she knew what she was doing and she did alterations in a timely manner. At the time I picked up my dress, I tried it on and it was NOT okay. Length was fine, but the straps.. was not okay. I told Ann that the straps were way too tight, and the cups that she added was too big as well. If I put my arms down, the strap scrunches forward and it gets wrinkly. I kept pointing that out to Ann and she tells me, "your arms are going to be down, no one will notice." Excuse me..? It's a wedding dress and there will be photos taken! Absolutely not okay. She was offering some suggestions and I told her I didn't like it and she kept pushing her suggestion. Eventually she said she can try another way and I said fine, we can give it a shot. I come back the next week and nope, dress was not fixed, still too tight and straps still bunched. I decided to call it a loss and take my dress elsewhere. Thankfully a friend of mine sent me to her seamstress and she made it fit beautifully and how it was supposed to be! And the other seamstress did agree with me that the straps were way way too tight. So thanks Ann for not cutting the fabric at least

    How long does it usually take to get a brides maids dress altered? Example, making it shorter?

    A 1-2 weeks, but they are so amazing and will work with you. I would give them at least 2 weeks

    Date of most recent visit: September 27, 2025…read more Your Cleaners is the closest dry cleaner to my place, as well as one of the oldest businesses in Mira Mesa. We've come here plenty of times and have always been impressed with the job they've done. This most recent visit was no exception - I'd gotten a "certified pre-owned" sports coat from Goodwill for the Halloween costume I'm crafting, and as such wanted to get it spruced up. So, off to Your Cleaners, and $7.25 and a couple of days later, my new jacket looked and felt great. Consider Your Cleaners next time you need some dry cleaning done and you're in the Mira Mesa area.

This is where SeaFood City and McDonalds is are located. The staff here is always friendly and the cost is reasonable. Service turnaround time is usually about 3 to 4 days, which again is reasonable and what I expected. They offer alterations as well, but I have never tried that service. The attention to detail is much appreciated. We recently took my daughter's promo dress to be cleaned. There was a good amount of caramel that was dropped on it and created a pretty good stain. They lady looked over the dress, and before I could point it out, she had already spotted the issue and made me aware that they would do their best on it. She asked for an extra day to clean so that they could really work on it. I appreciated this so much. When we picked up the dress a week later, it was perfect!

    I cannot believe that I found this place right near where I live! What a hidden gem!…read more First off, there is no chance you will stumble upon this location because it is on a back street with businesses that are not getting a lot of traffic. However, it is to be highly considered. I took a dinner jacket in to be pressed and let's just say I was IMpressed. The cost was reasonable and I had the jacket back in 2 days. The decor is fun and somewhat modern, if not homey. The service was friendly and it's the kind of place and people you would want to send your mother to. I'll definitely be back next time I have some dry cleaning!

That was an outright lie. They created a 10-inch tear through the front and back of the shirt. Why would I bring in a "previously damaged" shirt for dry cleaning? They ruined it, tried to hide it, and then still charged me for the cleaning. On top of that, their laundry pricing is misleading. The website clearly says $3.99/lb, but when I went to pay, they tried to charge $5.99/lb. When I pointed out the online price, they literally asked me, "How much do you want to pay?" and then randomly settled on $4.99/lb. Dishonest, careless, and unprofessional. I will never return, and I strongly recommend avoiding this place. RESPONSE TO OWNER'S RESPONSE BELOW: You must be referring to someone else. If you read the review, you will see that the shirt I brought in was clean and new. You damaged it, did not say anything and went ahead and charged me. Photo attached.
